Death Note Tarot Tales II: Near's Tarot in the Death Note One-Shot Special

16/1/2016

A continuing look at tarot cards, archetypes
and symbolism in Death Note
with Death Note News columnist
Tarot Mikami


~ This time exploring how
Near uses tarot
in the manga one-shot
to represent all that is going on

Tarot Mikami Death Note News columnist banner
The Death Note One-Shot Special was published in Weekly Shonen Jump's February 2008 edition. Created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, this 46 page stand alone chapter acted as a sequel to the events in the main Death Note manga.
When it seems a new Kira has emerged from the ether, former SPK agents Hal Lidner and Anthony Rester approach Near to see what he's going to do about it. After all, he is the new L now and everyone knows that L takes on Kira.  Or does he? 

Well, yeah, as long as he accepts that his opponent really is Kira.  If not, then why take a Fool's Journey along the same old pathway, as directed by an imitator. Near's already taken those steps and learned those lessons. He's already in possession of that world.  As underscored and illustrated throughout this one-shot Death Note manga sequel by use of tarot imagery.

L's successor - now L - quite literally occupies The World in tarot.  He's created a whole world from the cards!

Near's Position in the Death Note Manga One-Shot

As Matsuda makes clear before we even glimpse Near, the current L is in a position of considerable power in this new post-Kira world.  Especially as regards understanding and information. 

The story takes place nine years after Light Yagami received a Death Note from the Shinigami Ryuk, and three years since his serial killing persona Kira was killed by the same. All of which was not only orchestrated and witnessed by Near, but he also obtained custody of said Death Note AND calls the shots on what details enter the public sphere.  There is some intelligence known for certain only to Near - like the whereabouts/Fate of that deadly notebook - which he expects others simply to take his word on trust.

Near not only has the keenest overview of this world as far as Kira concerns it, but he is able to determine all future aspects of Kira within it.  Light Yagami might once have thought himself God of This New World. But in reality, it turned out to be Near.

He and/or the Death Note creators - Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata - choose to express that with use of the tarot, tarot cards and the Fool's Journey through the Major Arcana (though the latter is largely implied).   And by 'Near's world in tarot cards', I mean that quite explicitly.

Our First View of Near in Death Note One-Shot

Hal Lidner and Anthony Rester Death Note one-shot
When Hal Lidner and Anthony Rester enter Near's hub, it's to find themselves confronted by a wall of cards.  Superimposed against a view of the city, representing the world outside.

We see this urban sprawl first. It's a telescoping within from tower, as context and location, to room as specific spot wherein lurks the current L. But it also emphasizes the fact that we're seeing their environment/territory/universe.  At its centre, there's Near; architect and creator of the cityscape in cards.

Death Note's Near tarot card world
In truth, these could be any old cards (though the minor arcana in tarot is the four suits of playing cards anyway).  However, it's made overt in the next clutch of panels that Near chose tarot with which to build his card tower's massive expanse.
Death Note One Shot Near's Tarot card tower
After underscoring again that that Near knows everything (the panel after this states that he's 100% certain that a Death Note is involved in the latest killing spree by one labelled Kira via those denizens of the world wide web), he goes on to prioritize in importance the safety of his 'tarot card tower'.

The world he's constructed in the wake of the previous Kira tops that being introduced by this new one.

The World in Near's Tarot Card Tower

I have repeatedly used 'The World' in conjunction with Near in this Death Note manga special. This is no accidental over-usage of the words. The World is the last card of the tarot's major arcana. It's the final trump to play.  It's what there is to play for.

The World's meaning is to return to the beginning but, as the poet says, see it again for the first time.  Those in control of The World, or in a World state, recognize the signs for an environment in which they originally tramped through in all ignorance. Only this time they have the overview; experience from lesson's learned and teachers along the way; and incorporate within their own personalities the archetypes enacted by the previous arcana.

To enter The World is to complete the circle, thus finish the story.  Typically, the possessor of The World will ape the stance of The Fool from card zero. Only instead of blithely heading straight towards an unseen cliff-edge, they will note the abyss before them, smile knowingly and step right over it.  Then they fly.

It achieves a bird's eye view of everything below in manageable, surmountable, graspable miniature. All they survey, they know.  The World is their oyster; it belongs to them entirely.

Thus is Near situated here.  Warning Lidner and Rester not to 'knock over his tarot card tower' - The World he holds; built of all he mastered in the journey towards its construction - because that would indicate a brand, new world for the making.  But first, he has to double check.  Only then can he soar over his cliff-edge in complete (intellectual) ownership of all he surveys.

Contemplating L - Original Wammy Fool of the Death Note Universe

Tarot Near thinking of L in Death Note One-Shot Special

Near uses tarot cards to think about L in Death Note One-Shot Special
It has to be assumed that Near understands the symbolism and archetypes inherent in the tarot. At least, insofar as that's all we ever see from his decks, those of the major arcana.  Assuming that he hasn't just got a pack arranged precisely beside him at all times, then Near is seen picking a card at random in order to begin his contemplation of L.

As his Wammy predecessor on the original Kira case, L may be viewed as the original Fool.  The first one to undertake this journey, which Near then inherited. Therefore all cards in the tarot would pertain to L.

And to Near too, upon the same journey.  He and L together may take an overview through the way-makers and ponder the states learned, mastered and/or understood.  His insight isn't into one specific point, but them all.  If Near knew less about the tarot, then he might have opted for a single card, one which he knew intimately and/or triggered the pensive subject.

Moreover, because he inherited this case from L the original Fool, it's to L's mindset Near must return to identify the start.  There to recognize it most fully when it's viewed again from the end.  'What would L do?' pretty much delineates the boundaries of this quest; the rules of the game, determining failure or success; and what Near must consider most important of all in concluding the same right now.

If you like, L drew the lines in the sand to begin the battle.  Now Near has to return to where that was, in order to draw a line under the Kira case, so to end it.

Death card in Death Note One-Shot Special

The Death Card and Light Yagami

We never see the card which Near pulled out to muse upon with, and about, L.

However we are privy to that which followed, pertaining to Light Yagami as the original Kira. It was the major arcana tarot card Death.

Usually I sigh when this turns up in fictional media, as it invariably means something other than is obvious to the non-tarot reading viewer.  Death indicates more of a transformation than actual base and physical death. Though that can factor, insofar as it is a transformative state.

However, this does mean here what the dialogue requires Death to mean.

It's never stated what Kira did (any Death Note fan reading by now will already know), only that his actions brought about a transformation in crime rate and war.  Both for the better, as the tarot's Death state is wont to achieve too.

In Near's personal life, Kira represented something of a watershed too. Before Kira, he was a jigsaw puzzling student at Wammy's House. During  Kira, he became a world-class detective, putting his life and liberty on the line in order to solve the case.

In that regard, the Death tarot card is a perfect representation for Kira here.

The Foolish C-Kira of Death Note's Aftermath World - a Cheap Copy Kira

In contrast to the game-changing transforming qualities of encountering Light Yagami's Kira, we have Near's condemnation of this new Kira.

The tarot card he chooses to represent this interloper is The Fool.

Numbered zero in the major arcana, The Fool is the signifier, or subject, of the whole story to follow.  The protagonist of the plot.  But that case journey undertaken by L, then Near, already had one of those in the form of Light Yagami's Kira.

Therefore Near identifies this new Kira not as Light's successor, but the instigator of a whole new tale.  It's not the quest he (nor L or Mello) was on. It's incitement to enter into another Fool's Journey; a separate quest entirely.

By 'identifies', I mean that Near quite literally pins this one down.  Spearing straight through the hidden cards indicating the rest of this Fool's story.

He uses a dart to do so - the prop of his own Foolish days.  As when Near first appeared in the Death Note manga as a contender for the L Code on the Kira case, his only 'toy' was a single dart.  The rest - tarot cards, transformers, puppets etc - all came later.

Near is stating symbolically, as well as verbally, that he's been here before. This is a different story, with all the lessons already learned from the first, therefore why should he be interested in it at all?
Near Death Note CKira idiot posing as Kira
Death Note One-Shot Special C-Kira The Fool in Tarot
The new Kira as a Fool setting out on a different journey from the first is reiterated in Near's conclusion, wherein he labels the killer 'some idiot'.

Fool, in one of its earliest connotations, was 'an idiot' - the folly of which still overhangs some modern usages of the term.

Thereon to label the imposter as C-Kira - a cheap copy of the original - and therefore nothing to do with Near at this stage, unless he chooses to accept the case as something new in its entirety.

The Other Tarot Cards on the Floor in Near's Tarot Musings

It may be of interest to contemplate the other cards spread out around Near's Death (Light Yagami) and Fool (C-Kira) cards.  They don't actually seem all that random, when placed in conjunction with Near's known history; and the card he surveyed whilst holding the L puppet aloft might be surmised. 

First there's Strength, which is pretty much what it says on the packet.  That's the sheer endurance and brute force intellect required to survive The Wammy House for Gifted and Talented Orphans.  Followed by The Priestess - the inspiration for entering the quest, or reason to be upon that great Fool's Journey - aka Roger telling Near and Mello that L was dead and Kira was reigning unchecked. 

Both are already on the floor by the time Near picks out a card to contemplate with L.  Later panels show that to be The Hermit - the isolated light in the darkness, which both Near and Mello would have represented at that time.  In short, Near's own instance of inheriting L's Fool's quest, and bringing himself up to speed in following the clues rippling out from L's investigation. 

This is followed by The Star, which could be summarized as 'hope', i.e. when Near sourced the means to fully integrate himself into the Kira case.  Then Death - Kira - and The Fool - C-Kira. 

It could be that Near is merely hunting through a tarot deck looking for the two that will illustrate his mind-set and direct his musing, discarding all others along the way.  Or it could be that he's spelling out the story thus far, in order to reach his conclusion.  Revisiting major markers on his own journey to this moment, so to recognize the reality of the situation in which he now finds himself.

Seeing The World for the cliff-edge it is, thus finding the courage to soar above it.

Toppling Near's Tarot World - Clearing The Decks with the Analytical Hermit?

Near tarot card tower falls
It's difficult to see which card acts as a catalyst for chaos; signifying such a lapse in Near's concentration that it begins to collapse the self-imposed prison barricade of his tarot card tower.

However, it seems significant that its with the fingers adorned with puppets of himself and Mello that Near swoops in to redeem its placement, whilst holding L in a watchful aside from his other hand.

Particularly since both panels give clues as to the nature of the card itself.

The first depicting it practically glowing with a halo of light against the darkness. The second affording a glimpse of what appears to be a staff, or torch held high and similarly glowing.  Both representing aspects of The Hermit then; the same card previously associated in Near's view with L.

The Hermit is a great card for Near now. An indicator of what is to come.

There are times when we have to step back, reflect and meditate upon our progress so far. This analytical retreat is necessary to shine a light upon those dark, overlooked, sometimes secret corners of the mind. Cleaning out the cobwebs and seeing things much more clearly than ever before, simply by stopping in order to see them.

However, The Hermit also symbolizes a solitary time, when the thinker is at their most anti-social.

After all, you need space and silence in which to effectively contemplate the past and all its clues; to sift through the rubble of self and experience to find context for the present; to peer into those half-forgotten places of the mind in recollection of lived memory, enlivened by passing insights from retrospect and other people's points of view.

This is not a state in which to take on board the perspective of third parties, unless as recollection sparking previously unexamined aspects for meditation.

Thus the insertion of Mello and L, as finger-puppets causes some measure of chaos for Near in his tarot world. Despite them being figures from the past.

Unless, of course, Near purposefully degrades his tarot card tower with this introduction of Mello as a puppet - the chaos ran rife during his rivalry with his Wammy House peer in life too. Given that Near has expertly and precisely placed every other card in a vast and intricate tower to date, this seems likely.

For Near as The Hermit, Hal and Rester's continued presence is a distraction. Knocking down his own tarot tower serves to momentarily shut them up, and provides him with a reasonable excuse to send them away.   Albeit delivered in Near's own brusque, polite-but-rude manner.

This is Near's World, not for anyone to direct in either order nor chaos but himself

Death Note One-Shot Special: Near Claims The World in Tarot

It is the prerogative of the enlightened Fool, at the end of their Journey, with all their lessons learned, situations enacted and archetypal states fully realised to return to the beginning and see it again with its truths revealed.  The Wise Fool in possession of The World gets to soar beyond with a smile on their faces, enjoying a bird's eye view of all the components which make up reality. 

In mastery of their dominion, those claiming The World in tarot cards may even dictate its reality to others (though such elevated, returning Fools in symbolic reality generally feel no need to; displays of power play like that not only appear trifling but meaningless too in the face of other Fools and other realities). 

Thus Near finishes his contemplation of The World by opting out of it.  But not before he's seen pronouncing his conclusion through an overview of everything, as represented by a whole wall of tarot cards, each carrying their own component towards the whole picture.

Near stepping outside The World to proclaim its truth from his lofty perspective
Viewed close up, Near seems to be symbolically revisiting a similar point on his own 'true' journey; contrasting this apparently easy conclusion with one which wasn't so simple to conclude.  Compare this frame with Near's previous derogation of Light Yagami's Kira.
Death Note Near 'Just a Murderer'
Death Note Near Crazy mass murderer
There are elements in the latter which recall the former - Near's finger twisting around a lock of hair; proxies in props for the real thing (puppet; tarot cards); his utter bluntness in calling the murders for what they were, stripping away all intrigue, justification and quasi-divine mystique - yet all is changed utterly.

Three years before, Near was smug, but also uncertain in his smugness. He peered down to speak, still thinking it through, before sneaking a look at Kira to see how his words had been received. Then felt the need to reiterate a point, this time a little more flowery, therefore losing some of its stark impact.

This time, Near's pronouncement is unfettered and direct. His gaze straight and sure. His confidence in the latter no doubt stemming from his living through the precedent set by the former.

In some ways, publicly giving clues to how the 'real' Kira was diminished by this public re-enactment, though only he and a select few will ever know that.

His world-view viewed through The World, as a wall of tarot cards.
Then we pull away for the long shot and know that Near truly has returned to the beginning and seen it for the first time. That he really has seen and accepted his truth in The World; that he is no mere successor to L, but L himself.  With the power to disdain lesser distractions that would teach him nothing new; to reject imprisonment inside an arena begun and delineated by some other Fool; to step away from The World, over the cliff top, and into new journeys bespoke to himself.

The Hermit's illumination, with Mello in hand (literally) to spark the courage for chaotic dismantlement, quickly escalated into Near knowing to pull down his own tarot card tower, and build the whole thing anew.  After all, Near now owned The World.
Death Note Near tarot L

Near gets to rebuild L anew from a world of tarot cards
Incidentally, this gets quite poignant when you realise whom Near is addressing here.  That speech bubble for his unseen partner in discussion is L.  It's the style used whenever L speaks through a monitor - over a television screen or computer - alongside a letter upon a white background. Throughout this Death Note One-Shot Special, that was Near himself speaking publicly as L.

Or put another way, this is Nate River conversing with Near right at the point when he mentally and emotionally accepts that he is L.  When he steps free of The World as delineated by L. Lawliet and embarks upon new worlds of his own discovery, and journeys of his own destiny.

From Sun to World: Near Steps Out of L's Shadow via Tarot Symbolism

A final world compares the images of Near from the beginning and end of this Death Note One-Shot Special. The front cover artwork depicts him still very much a successor to L, continuing the ways of his idol until completion of that particular journey.  Near's own voice is overtly silenced, subsumed beneath a finger-puppet of L. Himself acting entirely as L's proxy.

We travel through the story, witnessing Near's final leap from Wammy heir to the L Code to one actually in possession of it, mentally as well as physically.  There is no Lawliet by the final depiction of Near, in the manga's closing artwork.  Though Near now looks more like L than ever before, and sits confidentially beneath a shining tag proclaiming the same - backwards, forwards and in black and white.
Near cover of Death Note One-Shot Special
Near final artwork Death Note One-Shot Special
In terms of tarot, there are characteristics in the former which suggest that of The Sun tarot card.  Blazing far more keenly than The Hermit ever could, The Sun indicates those seeing their own being, environment and all anew.  They aren't necessarily illuminated, but ARE the illumination.  "Who are you?", asked The Fool of the Sun.  "I am you." The Sun replied.

It's the final stage before Judgement calls and, beyond that, The World.

There are fewer indicators that the last piece of artwork in Death Note's canon series depicts Near as archetype of The World.  Nor can we totally dismiss it.  There are no symbol creatures in each corner, but that central topmost circle could pass for a globe, and Near himself - L-esque as he appears - could arguably be perched with his back against a cliff-top; or at least the dark unknown.

Nevertheless it's a stretch, so we'll leave this here.

Next time we'll begin our journey through the Death Note major arcana proper, looking at the Fool tarot card

'I Struggle to Draw Cute Girls' Takeshi Obata Tells Comic Alliance

19/11/2014

2 Comments

 
Death Note Misa Amane
Do you ever look at Misa and think 'badly drawn and not at all girly cute'? 

Nope, nor me. On the contrary, she seems to be the epitome of all that's cute, practically unto the point of annoyance. Give or take the murderous gaze and scribbling. That's not so cute. It just makes for a great story.

Neither do I consider the likes of Hal or Naomi to be particularly conceptualized on the page.

Yet their artist doesn't share our view.

Takeshi Obata gave an interview to Juliet Kahn of Comic Alliance, during his recent trek to the United States.  There's not a great deal of focus upon Death Note, so I'll not wax too lyrical about it here.  But there was an intriguing comment about his art.

CA: Is there anything you especially love or hate to draw?

TO: I’m really bad at drawing female characters. It’s difficult to capture their expression because I don’t understand them! Making them pretty and cute is the most difficult thing.
(Takeshi Obata, with Juliet Kahn, Comic Alliance, October 30th 2014)
What do you think?  Do you agree that Obata is better at drawing the male of the species than its ladies?  Or are you as dismissive as I am about the self-effacing criticism?

There's much more in the interview, though it's mostly about All You Need is Kill and Bakuman.  Visit Comic Alliance for the full low down.
